One of the reasons we enjoy maintaining a blog is it is a great way to share information and insights about who we are and what we do. We enjoy getting to know our customers, and we hope you will enjoy getting to know us better. Memento Gift Shop has operated as a retail gift store since 2000, and before that, Virginia’s Gifts operated in the same location for a very long time. For local residents and frequent visitors to the Palm Springs area, we’ve been a familiar and reliable destination for gifts, cards, stationary, fine collectables and souvenirs.

People who know our store like to shop Memento because we provide a hassle-free shopping environment, and stand behind our products. We know you have a choice of where you can spend your money; you have a choice of where to shop for gifts and collectable items. We don’t take that for granted– and always want to earn your trust and business. As long-time local residents of Palm Springs, we proud to be an owner-operated small business downtown. The Memento business is here to serve locals as well as folks from anywhere who have an internet connection.

Why shop Memento when you can go to some large department store down valley? Well, because we offer great service to help you find the perfect gifts, we gift wrap, we ship, and we want to earn your loyalty to serve you for years to come. We want to get to know you so we can customize our assortment and carry “just the right sort of merchandise” that suits your needs and interests. Birthday? Wedding? New neighbor? Graduation? Christmas? Valentines Day? Mother’s Day? Father’s Day? Business client gifts? Personalization? Cards? Hosting a dinner party? We’ve got your covered to shop Memento Gifts.

And soon, our e-commerce website will be available so you can shop memento from the convenience of your home, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No need to shop the web endlessly in search of a gift. So what makes us special? Many items are local, many are made right here in the USA. We also include unique items from other corners of the globe too. We have traveled the country and world (literally) to source a great variety of unique items.

For those of you who visit Palm Springs and want to take back a “memento” of your vacation, we have a great selection of unique and differentiated souvenirs such as t-shirts, hats, sweatshirts, mugs, trivets, coasters, and much more. We look forward to serving you in the new year and to be your solution for gift giving in 2013 and beyond.
